Steam for Linux

The dosbox games on steam could easily be transferred over from windows to linux. Dosbox itself has a linux binary built and ready to go. All that has to be done is swap the windows dosbox binary with a linux one and all the linux beta users will be able to play the dos related games like xcom. Just a thought

I, too, was hoping to see these games as downloadable. I hope it is just a packaging issue, and not a licensing issue with the publisher.

It would be better, also, if the Linux version of Steam used the native dosbox from the system, i.e. asked Ubuntu to install Dosbox via apt, rather than installing a dosbox executable for each install. Launch would be done via the system dosbox and the local config file.
